in view of today's google doodle, which was interesting, I wondered if Nigeria has any known inventors of anything in ancient times.

In case you didnt notice, here is the doodle:




commemorating Alessandro Volta's 270th birthday. He was a physicist and inventor.

So, who are the nigerian names of note when it comes to inventing stuff?

I've read of an Ife Queen who introduced paved walks to the city sometime around the eleventh or sixteenth century or so.

Queen Luwo?

Did she invent it or simply introduced it to Ife? That sort of pavements were already in use in the Mediterranean before Luwo's time....

Not sure.

However, it was an innovation.
